Title: Screening system and method for acquiring and processing genomic information for generating gene variant interpretations
Inventor: EMILY MACKAY
IPC: G16H50/70
Filed: 2020-01-16
Abstract: Described is a screening system that determines gene variants present in a compiled genome representative of a subject based on a difference between a reference genome and the compiled genome, and acquires phenotype information from an observation of the subject. The control circuitry further generates multi-dimensional data structure that includes the gene variants in respect of a first dimension, the phenotype information in respect of a second dimension; and a set of data samples in respect of a third dimension. The set of data samples includes the compiled genome sequence representative of the subject, and corresponding historical data samples of other subjects, including their corresponding transcript information (e.g., phenotype information), and their gene variants. The control circuitry executes a gene variant interpretation using a correlation function to find phenotype-gene variant relationships based on the generated multi-dimensional data structure.

Title: Method for detecting traffic anomally of urban road with equidistant spatial-temporal division
Inventor: YUCHUAN DU
IPC: G08G1/01
Filed: 2017-12-30
Abstract: Equidistant spatial-temporal division is used in the detection of a traffic anomaly. A spatial-temporal subzone is created by dividing one day into several time segments of 30 minutes, each defined as a time subzone; dividing one implemented area into several spatial segments of 200m x 200m, each defined as a spatial subzone; and defining an intersection of one time subzone and one spatial subzone as a spatial-temporal subzone. Historical and real-time GNSS positioning data of floating vehicles is respectively pre-processed into sampled historical and real-time vehicle speed data relating to historical and real-time trajectories. These are used in a finite mixed modelling method to establishing respective historical and real-time travel speed probability distributions. Jensen-Shannon divergence is then used to measure a difference between said historical and real-time travel speed probability distributions and an anomaly index of traffic conditions is determined from said difference. The accuracy of said anomaly index is then evaluated.

Patent GB-2594008-A (GB)
Title: Modulators
Inventor: JOHN PAUL LESSO
IPC: H03M1/50
Filed: 2018-08-24
Abstract: A time-encoding modulator 100 receives an input signal Sin and provides at its output a time encoded signal Spwm. A comparator 101 is located within the forward signal path of a feedback loop of the TEM. Also in the loop are a filter 104 and a controllable delay element 106. The delay element may be a digital delay line (401, fig.4a) or a counter-based delay (fig.4b), synchronised to a clock signal CLK1. A latching element (302, fig.3; 402 fig.4) may be located within the forward path to synchronise signal transitions to the clock signal. Dither may be applied. The variable delay may be controllable as an integer number of clock periods. The introduction of a controlled delay allows the cycle period of the TEM to be controlled (CPC 506, fig.5). Cycle period control is also effected by controlling the hysteresis of the comparator in the TEM (fig.11). The use of both hysteresis control and a controlled delay within the loop of a TEM allows desired cycle period characteristics, e.g. limit cycle frequency, to be achieved whilst potentially easing the requirements for the comparator and/or delay element.

Title: Multi-well drilling optimization using robotics
Inventor: Srinath Madasu
IPC: E21B44/00
Filed: 2019-07-10
Abstract: A system and method for controlling multiple drilling tools inside wellbores makes use of Bayesian optimization with range constraints. A computing device samples observed values for controllable drilling parameters such as weight-on-bit, mud flow rate and drill bit rotational speed in RPM and evaluates a selected drilling parameter such a rate-of-penetration and hydraulic mechanical specific energy for the observed values using an objective function. Range constraints including the physical drilling environment and the total power available to all drilling tools within the drilling environment can be continuously learned by the computing device as the range constraints change. A Bayesian optimization, subject to the range constraints and the observed values, can produce an optimized value for the controllable drilling parameters to achieve a predicted value for the drilling parameters. The system can then control the drilling tool using the optimized value to achieve the predicted value for the selected drilling parameter.
